Smoke hid rocky Arab territory (8)
I believe the answer is:
sheikdom
'arab territory' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'smoke hid rocky' is the wordplay.
'rocky' indicates an anagram.
'smoke'+'hid'='smokehid'
'smokehid' with letters rearranged gives 'SHEIKDOM'.
(Another definition for sheikdom that I've seen is " Arab chief's territory".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
